Beyond Financial Fitness: How to Build Security and Prosperity for the Future

Beyond Financial Fitness builds on the three-part concept of the Offense, the Defense, and the Playing Field of personal finance that was introduced in the original Financial Fitness book by teaching how to maximize the potential of your various streams of income by properly accumulating an ever-growing portfolio of cash-flow-producing assets. Learn what money is truly for, how your greatest investment will always be yourself, how to organize your money flow into a hierarchy of assets, and how to get the power of compounding to work in your favor. Understand the Risk Factors working against you and how the “money game” is rigged in ways that are not always in your best interest. Finally, learn how to protect your gains while growing your financial security for the long term. In these pages, you’ll take the journey beyond mere financial fitness into prosperity and security for the future! Drawn from many of the greatest minds in the history of personal finance, Beyond Financial Fitness teaches you to gain mastery over your money once and for all through a Comprehensive Financial Plan, an Investment Policy, and an Asset Allocation Plan. A Comprehensive Financial Plan lays out how you will earn, how you will save, how you will spend, how you will borrow, and how you will invest your money. An Investment Policy teaches how to spell out your approach to investing, how to turn your efforts into assets, and how to recognize risk factors working against you. An Asset Allocation Plan shows you how much money to keep in

different investment categories, how to understand the risks of assets relative to each other, and how to diversify and allocate your assets, You’ve worked enough for your money—now it’s time to get it working for you!
